New York Yankees: The Resurgence of the Pinstripes

NEW YORK, NY New York Yankees – JULY 30: Ronald Torreyes /

The New York Yankees are finding their way atop the AL East. Their recent surge is putting them right back in playoff talks all across the baseball world.

The New York Yankees had their dip, and now it’s nothing but up in the Bronx.

This past week, the Yanks got back to the top of the American League East, and they are set to stay there. From hitting to pitching, the boys in pinstripes are exceeding all sorts of expectations.

The second half of the season started off as a question mark, but now, this division or bust for the Bombers.

Clint Frazier and Ronald Torreyes are the most valuable players of the second half thus far. Each time they step up, you expect them to deliver. Sprinkle in the veteran leadership of Brett Gardner, and it’s gangbusters for a great season.

Starting pitching is an iffy part of the New York Yankees, but with a bullpen so lights out, it’s not as much of a worry anymore.

The Yanks have four guys that can be legitimate closers pretty much anywhere else in the league. From fire baller Tommy Kahnle, to fineness pitcher David Robertson, the New York Yankees should be feared by any team across the board.

The Yankees are young, savvy, and ready to make a push for a World Series.

With such a young team, the Yanks have much more than just this year to look forward to. The next few seasons are going to be awesome if everything holds up.
